Ordering Repeat Prescriptions

For safety reasons we no longer take prescription requests over the telephone.

Requests can be made in person, in writing or online via the link at the top of this page. If you wish to order online please ask a member of the reception team to set you up with an account, you can also email your request to the surgery.

The quickest and easiest way to order is via the NHS App See link below. 

NHS App and your NHS account - NHS (www.nhs.uk)

Please allow 2 full days’ notice when ordering prescriptions; you can collect them any time after 10:30.

If you have any queries regarding your prescription please contact reception or send an email. Your local Pharmacy may also be able to advise you regarding your medication.

Nominating a Pharmacy

Prescriptions are now sent electronically to a nominated pharmacy. If you want to nominate your local pharmacy or change your current one, please ask for more details at reception or your local pharmacy to sign you up.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip. Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions

Extensive exemption and remission arrangements protect those likely to have difficulty in paying charges (NHS prescription and dental charges, optical and hospital travel costs).

The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines. Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.

NHS charges

These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.

• Prescription (per item): £9.65
• 12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £111.60
• 3-month PPC: £31.25

If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months, or more than 15 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.

• General Public - Buy or Renew a PPC On-line
